Decorum dying in Alaska Capitol as harassment of lawmakers is suddenly on the rise

Last week, Sen. Rob Yundt of Wasilla was spotted taping a harassing meme to the door of Rep. Jamie Allard of Eagle River. The meme referred to a legislative citation that failed to pass in the House regarding the founder and editor of Must Read Alaska. The citation passed in the Senate, but the Democrats who control the House refused to pass it.

Many in the building found it to be wildly inappropriate for the senator from Wasilla to harass another member, essentially defacing her office doorway with political commentary.

Sen. Rob Yundt harassed Rep. Jamie Allard by defacing her doorway with this meme.

Then over the weekend, a legislative staffer for Rep. Alyse Galvin was caught slipping a harassing meme under the office door of Rep. Kevin McCabe. The staffer was identified, but no action has been taken to fire him.

Whether this is a becoming pattern of behavior by lawmakers and their staff members is unclear, as it’s just two instances in one week. But other staff members in the Capitol are reportedly offended that a fellow staffer could get away with such behavior without punishment or dismissal, and in the process making all staffers look bad.

  1. You are such a mendacious whiner.
    Dems don’t control the House; the majority caucus does.

    And the majority caucus controls the House because smart Republicans reject #magat, no-compromise, burnt earth politics.

    Maybe you would have a better shot at a citation if certain rabid pols grew up?

    • Marc what a “mature and measured” comment (sarc) NOT!!.

      So you must agree that behavior like that, by staffers and a sitting legislator, is acceptable. It is quite clear that decorum and respect are sadly not in your vocabulary or apparently theirs. Visceral dislike, such as yours, is really counterproductive. Our republic was built on debate and disagreement, but we all need to remember that we are all Americans.

      BTW Democrats do control the house considering there are 19 (yes I count the “unaffiliated independents” as most of them used to run as democrats) and only what 2 or 3 republicans….
      …. and for the record, dumping on Suzanne was petty and childish. Clearly some can’t handle the truth.

  2. This is typical Democrat behavior, especially if they don’t get their way. We have not yet learned the identity of the US Supreme Court staff who early leaked the Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade (part 2). That leak caused untold numbers of national protests and influenced a number of close elections. This was the intended outcome of the leaks. It most likely came from Sotomayor’s court staff, but the mainstream press lost interest in this matter long ago.

  3. Apparently these well paid legislators don’t have enough to do since they have time to hunt up and stick memes on people’s doors. Your PFD cash is financing this. I bet you could find better uses for your money.

  4. They aren’t smart republicans, they are liars. Donald Trump is still your president. Cry more, just do it somewhere else.

    • Agreed, remove the homeless camp adjacent to West High School, by Dempsy and Romig. What’s the plan to have the homeless visit West side homes for sack lunches? Thin out the trees.

  5. Surprise, it happens at work to at ASD. I you are a public servant, have a degree, served in the military, the people who are politically motivated want to make your life miserable by theft, lying and cheating. Try losing everything because someone in a position in power lied. Welcome to the new era where once bitten twice shy is shame on you once and shame on me twice.
